Type `route` at the command-line and post the output to us. You may just
need to have a "default" route pointing to your ppp interface when
connected to your ISP. The routes dictate where to find differant
networks. Here's mine:
$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
localnet * 255.255.240.0 U 0 0 161
eth0
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 7
lo
default gateway.rmc.ca 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 2853
eth0
$
What this means is that to reach my local network, use the interface
eth0, to reach my local machine use interface lo (the loopback) and to
reach everyone else (the world), send my traffic to gateway.rmc.ca via
interface eth0.
You will need something similar saying that to reach 192.168.0.0 send to
eth0, and to reach the rest of the world you send to your default
gateway on ppp0.
So do a `route` from the command line and then do it again after
connecting to you ISP and send us the results of both of them.
Also, what error message do you get when you try to ping a host on the
Internet?
